The
MVUM listed trails for Miller Rock were partially off-limits for
full-width vehicles due to an obstacle folks chose to not try to run
(downslope slide / roll risk). The sponsoring trail group recently
widened the obstacle to make it reasonable to pass. This would be my
first visit and I wished to check out as many of the trails as
reasonable. Curiously we came across a few structures - collapsed,
collapsing, and in somewhat reasonable condition - plus, I think, one
mine. The evident trails and the map locations differed a bit and we
tried to match them up but alas, the physical track was the only track.
A couple of the trails (one I took, one I chose to not take) look long
dis-used and were more of a narrow width (quad) use. After visiting
much of the expanded trail set (there is one loop I'd like to check
out) we trekked back to Miller Rock for a view from atop. On our
out-n-back spur to the rock there was a deadfall tree at an angle over
the trail. I thought it'd be quick work for it to be removed so three
of us stayed to pull it down - perhaps 15 minutes start to end for the
task. One of the last warm days for the season put to good use.
